Tools for TPP-Free Zones

Declare Your Community a TPP-Free Zone!

Communities around the country are taking action locally to declare their area a “TPP-Free” Zone – if the TPP is made law, they will not obey!

This is a great opportunity to educate about the ways the TPP will destroy democracy and impact our lives from the food we eat to the cost of healthcare to wages and environmental protection to building local economies. It is a way to build community support for Fair Trade, not rigged corporate trade that is negotiated in secret.

** NEW: There is a new website for TTIP-Free Zones. Click here to check it out! **

It is time to build a democratic movement of resistance. It is time to start right where we live, in our own community. It is time to say to our US trade representative and the corporations which are sitting at the negotiating table— “If you, our unelected representatives, create this corporate-driven monstrosity and then go to Congress for a rubber stamp, WE WILL NOT OBEY.”

It is time to make our municipalities “TPP Free Zones,” following in the footsteps of the successful resistance to an earlier trade agreement, the Multilateral Agreement on Investment, which was defeated in 1998 thanks to a global grassroots campaign.
